DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] A preferred embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0024] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the present disclosure may provide a preferred embodiment of a ringtone download and play system.

[0025] A ringtone download and play system for a shared vehicle 20 is provided. The ringtone download and play system may include a lock and a cloud server 10 disposed on the shared vehicle 20. The ringtone download and play system may further include a control unit 11 disposed on the cloud server 10 and a processing unit 21 disposed on the shared vehicle 20.

[0026] Specifically, the cloud server 10 may store one or more ringtones, each of which may be played in response to a specific operation performed on the shared vehicle 20. When a user wants to operate the shared vehicle 20, the control unit 11 may send an instruction for downloading a specific ringtone to the processing unit 21 according to an identifier of the shared vehicle 20. The processing unit 21 may download the specific ringtone according to the instruction, and play the specific ringtone base on the operation of the shared vehicle 20.

[0027] As used herein, an identifier of the shared vehicle 20 refers to a unique identification code of the shared vehicle 20.

[0028] Additionally, the ringtone download and play system may further include a storage device 22 connected to the processing unit 21. The processing unit 21 may determine a storage situation of the storage device 22 according to the instruction, and download the specific ringtone when it is determined that the storage device 22 does not store the specific ringtone, or delete a ringtone corresponding to the instruction and download the specific ringtone when it is determined that the storage device 22 has stored the corresponding ringtone, thereby saving memory of the storage device 22, such that the storage device 22 may have a sufficient memory space.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, the present disclosure may provide a preferred embodiment of a feedback module.

[0030] Specifically, the processing unit 21 may include a first feedback module 211. The first feedback module 211 may upload a download result to the cloud server 10 when the download of the specific ringtone is successfully performed or failed. The processing unit 21 may further include a second feedback module 212. The second feedback module 212 may upload a result indicating a download failure to the cloud server 10 when it is determined that the corresponding ringtone is not deleted successfully. The combination of the two feedback modules may ensure that a download situation may be uploaded to the cloud server 10, and prevent the processing unit 21 from downloading the specific ringtone if the corresponding ringtone is not successfully deleted, so as to prevent an extra ringtone from occupying the memory of the storage device 22.

[0031] Preferably, the storage device 22 may be a USB flash disk. The USB flash disk may operate if it is plugged in a processing device (e.g., the processing unit 21). The USB flash disk may be used as a removable storage. When the storage device 22 needs to be inspected and maintained, an administrator may unplug the USB flash disk, which is convenient for the administrator to install and remove. The storage device 22 may be any other type of storage device, such as a TF card, a memory stick, or the like.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 3, the present disclosure may provide a preferred embodiment of a play unit.

[0033] Specifically, the ringtone download and play system may further include a play unit 23 connected to the processing unit 21. The processing unit 21 may detect whether the storage device 22 stores the corresponding ringtone according to the operation performed on the shared vehicle. The processing unit 21 may control the play unit 23 to play the corresponding ringtone when it is determined that the storage device 22 has stored the corresponding ringtone, or control the play unit 23 to play a pre-stored ringtone when it is determined that the storage device 22 does not store the corresponding ringtone.

[0034] In some embodiments, the cloud server 10 may store at least one of a ringtone corresponding to unlocking the lock, a ringtone corresponding to locking the lock, a ringtone corresponding to appointing the shared vehicle, a warning ringtone of the shared vehicle, or a ringtone corresponding to searching the shared vehicle. When a user uses the shared vehicle in different scenarios, the cloud server 10 may provide different ringtones. The formats of a ringtone played by the play unit 23 may include an mp3 format, an amr format, a way format, and a mid format.

[0035] Optionally, the play unit 23 may be a speaker.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 4, the present disclosure may provide a preferred embodiment of a ringtone upload module.

[0037] Specifically, the control unit 11 may include a ringtone upload module 111. If the control unit 11 detects that a specific ringtone is not stored in the cloud server 10, the control unit 11 may control the ringtone upload module 111 to upload the specific ringtone to the cloud server 10.

[0038] In the embodiment, the shared vehicle may be, but not limited to, a shared bicycle. For example, the shared vehicle may be any other type of shared vehicle, such as a shared car, a shared electric vehicle, or the like.

[0039] In summary, the above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
